and you are the absolutely first person who has found continental belts to
be a problem.

Hi Mitch,
Finally settled tentatively on a 17.3 HP laptop that meets all the 
requirements for smooth operation of FlightsimX:


"HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition 17.3" Laptop - 2nd generation Intel 
Quad Core i7-2670QM (2.2 GHz) / 1GB GDDR5 Radeon Graphics / 8GB DDR3 
System Memory / 750GB 5400RPM Hard Drive / Blu-ray player & 
SuperMulti DVD burner / Beats Audio / 2 USB 3.0"


You need to find out what Radeon GPU it has in it.
Is that the 2011 generation of dv7t Quad edition?
I bought a couple of those for about $800ea in March 2011 with 2630QM 
CPUs, 6770M graphics, two batteries, and 6GB ram ($400 discount 
coupon, $150 instant rebate). They were pretty peppy with World of 
Warcraft when new and still entirely usable. If you might want one, I 
can ask the owners if they're ready to upgrade.


I'll send you one of my invoices from HP by direct email so you can 
see exact specs.


Mitch.

Sure, send me a copy and I'll match it up with what the Flightsim forum 
says is the minimum needed.  I'm not fussy about colors and little stuff 
on FS.  I just want to avoid the jerkiness of the oldest Flightsim.
My two prime choices for buying any kind of equipment is to buy used 
from a reliable source or buy new.  Your folks would definitely be a 
reliable source and I'd have more money to buy more or better Flightsim 
mechanical controls and such.

For some data points (the "maximum power dissipation" numbers are no help

Athlon 605e quad-core on ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO
 63W 800 MHz processor speed

Athlon 905e quad-core on ASUS M4A785TM-M EVO
With IDE disk spun down
69W 800 MHz processor speed
70W 2.5 GHz processor speed
With IDE disk spun up
75W 800 MHz processor speed
76W 2.5 GHz processor speed

All numbers include one SATA disk spinning.

Perhaps you don't need to know the color code. You can look at the places
that are shown on the diagram and see if they have anything connected to
them. If they do, you can trace the line to see if it goes to the correct
place.

Then you can start hooking together the rest of the things that need to
be connected.

Yes, I have hauled a couple of items in recent times that were heavy and 
tall and would have been difficult to put into the truck and to get back 
out.
One was an 80 gallon air compressor with the vertical tank. I was able 
to use the portable engine crane to lift it off of a trailer but would 
not have been able to do so with the truck as the crane will not extend 
high enough.

I disagree - I'm using W8.1 on a desktop. I do have a touch screen monitor,
and find it useful sometimes, but I just go immediately to the "desktop",
and never look back. I don't find the tiles annoying because I ignore them
and rarely even see them.
I've had no problems with 8.1, using it for digital mode amateur radio and

"MB" trailer photos attached.

Actually, it's made from a mid-to-late '30's Ford pickup cargo bed.  Haven't
been able to pin down exact year.  Bed is a heavy gauge steel (much heavier
than modern).  I replaced axle, springs and wheels about 15 years ago.  I
also added tri star and MB wheel covers then; they make it a great
conversation piece.

Its paint is beginning to be a  bit embarrassing; for 35
years, I've painted it the color of the tow vehicle of  the time: bronze in
'79 to match top of '74 Plymouth van, blue in '89 for '87 Dodge Caravan,
red
in '96 for '95 Dodge Caravan, ivory in '04 for '81 300D and red (burgandy)
again for
interior and stripe on outside of '87 300D.  Started to paint it white to
match the '87 300D, but it sits outside in the weather and under trees all
the time, and I thought white on it would look too grungy too fast - the
ivory didn't work out very well for that - so I painted it same as the 124
interior.  Some places in the red are flaking/spalling and beginning to
show
spots of the old colors.

Re: [MBZ] FlightSim laptop

2014-05-16 Thread Mitch Haley

Hi Mitch,
Finally settled tentatively on a 17.3 HP laptop that meets all the 
requirements for smooth operation of FlightsimX:


"HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition 17.3" Laptop - 2nd generation Intel Quad 
Core i7-2670QM (2.2 GHz) / 1GB GDDR5 Radeon Graphics / 8GB DDR3 System 
Memory / 750GB 5400RPM Hard Drive / Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD 
burner / Beats Audio / 2 USB 3.0"


You need to find out what Radeon GPU it has in it.
Is that the 2011 generation of dv7t Quad edition?
I bought a couple of those for about $800ea in March 2011 with 2630QM CPUs, 
6770M graphics, two batteries, and 6GB ram ($400 discount coupon, $150 instant 
rebate). They were pretty peppy with World of Warcraft when new and still 
entirely usable. If you might want one, I can ask the owners if they're ready to 
upgrade.


I'll send you one of my invoices from HP by direct email so you can see exact 
specs.


Mitch.
